You need to change the icons of resources. Import some custom icon (in DDS format) in your map that you will use for a resource and set its and path to the already existing - make sure it is named like the file you're going to replace:

Assets\Textures\icon-gas-terran.dds
Assets\Textures\icon-mineral-terran.dds

image can be any size you can use 76x76 or 64x64 or 30x30 etc

which field in the data editor is that. i really only need 1 icon. (since the other resource doesnt have an icon.)

This is not in the data editor it's in the Import manager. You just import the icon with the name of the icon you will replace and set its path to the above like it was in war3. You can see the textures by going to Actors and on the right panel browsing the previewer for textures there where you see an image.

The tooltips are in the string file. Just add your custom ones to overwrite the old tooltip strings.
